Preventing Drain Blockages
When gutters get clogged the water will overflow, carrying debris into your drains. Over time, this debris can become a full-scale blockage, causing water to back up.
Blocked drains can quickly become a major problem, leading to poor water flow, unpleasant odours and even flooding around your property. Cleaning your gutters keeps debris out of your drains, allowing water to flow freely through the pipes.
Reducing Flooding Risks
If your gutters are unable to carry water away from your property, rainwater can overflow into the ground around your home. Over time, this standing water can erode the soil around the foundation which can start to cause structural issues.
The added pressure of the overflow can also damage your drains, leading to cracks or collapses which can then mean costly repairs.
Protecting Against Mould
Overflowing gutters can cause water to spill down the walls of your home, which can then seep into your foundations, walls and floor. This water can create a moist environment, which is a feeding ground for mould and mildew.
By ensuring your gutters are regularly cleaned, you can eliminate the chances of water pooling, protecting your drains and home from mould and mildew.
